This is an equation representing the ellipse
Explanation:
- The general equation for an ellipse is
so, when you simplify it according to the characteristics of a and b, you would end up in the similar form of the equation given
- where a represents half the length of the major axis and b represents half the length of the minor axis.
- The easiest method to identify, look at whether both the variables are squared, and also the coefficient of x and y should be positive but different.
20 ÷ (4 – 2)
Subtract 2 from 4.
20 ÷ 2
Divide
Final Answer: 10
4 goes into 36 9 times and 36-36 is zero. Bring down the 2 and at a zero to it so it will be 20. Finally, 4 goes into 20 5 times. Your answer is 9.5
You need to use pythagorean’s theorem. so a^2+b^2=c^2.
in this case it would be 6^2+8^2=c2
36+64=100
the square root of 100 is 10
x=10
